I can hardly believe that 2014 is almost over. It seems like just yesterday that the year started. I have not been sewing a lot this past year. The arrival of my first grandson kind of strayed me off the sewing path. But he is so cute and I had to hold him and play with him as much as possible.

I did finish The Hexie Blog BOM though. I changed a few things, but for the most part I did as instructed. My November block is different. I used diamond shapes to represent leaves. For me, in this part of the world, there is not much left growing by the time November rolls around.

I always think of the song, "The Last Leaf Clings to the Bough". So I wanted my November block to represent the fallen leaves. I used the pumpkin block to represent October.

Here is the whole quilt top. A block for each month. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo, but it is snowing out and the light is very bad. Also, there was no one here to hold it up for me.

It's dark and dreary outside, so I am just working away on my hexie quilt BOM from The Hexie Blog. This is the December block. But don't get excited. It is not my last block. I still have a few more to finish off and applique down. I am using different backgrounds because I have lots of fat quarters. The HST are all from my scrap bin.

Have a terrific weekend. I have to go and pick up the other blocks from my design floor now. DH is going to vacuum and I don't want any of those tiny pieces to get caught in the beater bar.

Things are slowly getting back to normal around here. Grand baby has gone home. It's very quiet now. Felix is happy about that. And I am getting more than just a couple of hours of sleep at night. I've even had some time to catch up on some of my BOMa. This is my pumpkin from the Hexie Blog for November.

About Me

I became a quilter purely by accident. I had wanted to sign up for a woodworking class, but it was full. So the only other class I could sign up for was a quilting course. I was not happy at first, but I fell in love with this craft! It is passion, history, creativity! I love it and I want to share it with the world.
